Speakers
Description
For JALT Chapters and SIGs, face-to-face event hosting is just one option of many, due to the advent of powerful video conferencing software systems such as Google Meet, Zoom, and YouTube Live. Organizations who host hybrid events make their offerings accessible to a wider audience, including the geographically distant, people with disabilities, those with family or work obligations, or others who cannot attend for other reasons. In this session, the presenters will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of various platforms, discuss necessary equipment and costs, and outline their processes for ensuring hybrid events and meetings are successful. Edward will explain how to set up a YouTube LIVE stream using the free open source software OBS, as well as go through the equipment purchased and used by the Kyoto Chapter to provide viewers a professional-like experience without breaking the bank. Dr. Noxon will explain how to stream to YouTube using StreamYard, a free live stream platform. Using just a simple PC or Chromebook, a Bluetooth microphone, and a phone, anyone can live stream an event or a meeting in a cheap and easy way. If you are a member of an organizing committee within JALT, join us for this practical session.
